If 8-hour powercuts were already a pain in the backside then brace yourselves for even longer periods in the dark, as ZESA has started stage 2 of load shedding as announced on ZBC News last night.
Kindly note that generation at Hwange is depressed due to a technical fault. Load shedding is now on Stage 2.
Load shedding may be above [for longer periods than] the publicized schedules. We apologize for any inconveniences caused.
Considering that Stage 2 load shedding has 15 hour power cuts, it’s going to be a depressing period if the fault at Hwange takes a significant amount of time to fix.
Even in the event that this technical fault is fixed, once you consider that there’s close to a fortnight of generation capacity left at Kariba, stage 2 might become the norm sooner rather than later.

But why in Chikanga in Mutare hakuende magetsi zvachose…ciz kune Barrack..but Cranborne and Dzivaresekwa Ext kune maBarrack magetsi anoenda wani
Some areas in cranborne haende, kwane years asingaende. But other parts anoenda. I think it has to do with the type of transformers as some can separate areas much easier than others.
